Description
John Lovell compares four of the most popular subcompact pistols on the market: the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus, Glock 43X, SIG P365, and Springfield Hellcat.
If you’re looking for a smaller concealed carry pistol that is still big enough to actually fight with, this review breaks down the strengths and tradeoffs of each option. John compares price, size, capacity, sights, trigger, accessories, ergonomics, and overall shootability to help you decide which one may serve you best.
This video is for educational and informational purposes only. No firearms are sold in this video, and this description does not include links to purchase firearms.
John also shares what he personally carries, why it performs so well, and why he usually recommends one of these more budget-friendly subcompact options to newer or less serious shooters.
Which one would you choose: Shield Plus, Glock 43X, SIG P365, or Hellcat? Drop your pick in the comments.
